I want to execute a command in backgroupd. For example copying a lot of files which takes some time,
and don't want viewer to wait for the next web page coming up.
I tried system("cp * /tmp 2>&1 >/dev/null &");
but system function doesn't proceed until all files are copied.
Is there any way to execute command in backgroud?
